10/18 Change is Out of Control!

               In my experience appraising how fast gay marriage will come, I could have never seen what has just happened coming. Over the month of October (so far), the wave of states legalizing gay marriage has taken a complete turn into overdrive, sending six more states to legalize. I would have been more than happy if six had legalized in the entire year of 2014, but these states came out of NOWHERE. Here they are.


Nevada: Considering the liberal influence of "vice industries", and considering that many of the states around it have converted, this one wasn't as big of a shocker compared to the rest. It still came early though.

Idaho: This one shocked me to my core. This was the state that in April refused to let a lesbian VETERAN to be buried next to their wife. (http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2014/04/24/3430609/idaho-lesbian-veteran/) I have no idea how this one happened.

West Virginia: I have no idea how this one happened.

North Carolina: I have no idea how this one happened.

Alaska: I have no idea how this one happened.

Arizona: I have no idea how this one happened.

Wyoming: I have no idea how this one happened.

If you're getting a theme here, you'll see that the majority of the October legalizations make no sense to me. These were states I would have figured may not have legalized within the decade.

I guess the end of 2014 is my new prediction? I have no idea at this point, especially considering that many elections and initiatives are being enacted on the eighth. Fingers crossed!
